Def Leppard ROCKS! *promote

My two year old likes jamming out to Def Leppard... =)

The phrase, "it's better to burn out than to fade away," was famous outside of the context of Neil's song long before Cobain swallowed a shotgun. It was borrowed as the opening line of Def Leppard's "Rock of Ages," and perhaps most famously by the Kurgan in Highlander (as he's leaving the church). It was basically a well known catch-phrase by the time Cobain ended his life.

Lol typical Coco, funny as hell. The 'I lost my virginity to REM' had me lmao. Though I personally lost my virginity to Def Leppard. Hysteria album brings back so many memories lol.

oh goodie! it's a pissing contest. i wonder who has the biggest dick????

secretly, i've always suspected that it was duckman. whip em out boys, let bea settle this.

no processing on the vocals....she seems to still hit all the right notes...I'm sorry, but it doesn't sound that bad.

I didn't know the term "tone-deaf" described a real thing...but it does. And you suffer from it.

owatadorkiam is not tone deaf. I'm a vocalist (yes I was paid to do it for a living at one time in my life) and sorry to say I didn't hear any sour notes. Granted she's no virtuoso, but she's not singing off key at all. What I expected to hear was horribly out of tune singing and heard nothing of the sort. And yes, I really wanted to hear her choke.

yes, he most certainly is, and it would appear you are as well. an avid musician myself, this made me cringe....BUT went ahead and had my mother, a pianist and classically trained vocalist for over 40 years, my brother, a professionally trained vocalist and avid musician (you should here his Faithfully by journey, hit it at karaoke this last weekend and he fucking OWNED it), and my good friend Mandy, a vocalist and musician by hobby who trained under one of Jessica Simpsons former vocal coaches.....
and they unanimously agreed that she fucking sucks. and not just the talky verses (cuz i know thats kind of her unique stlye) but the chorus and prechorus (especially the prechorus)
you didnt hear any sour notes? that sentence alone condemns you as tonedeaf. It wasnt chock full of em but there were PLENTY to choose from.
what i will say is this: she is certainly trained, she can carry a tune (sort of), but she is mediocre at best
but thats the music industry for you. me and my brother have been in bands playing locally trying to get exposure since we were in high school........and justin fucking beiber gets a multi million contract?
it has little to nothing to do with how talented or unique you are and everything to do with one of two things: luck/right place right time, or knowing the right people

"My musician friends can beat up your musician friends!!! Derp derp!"
Look, I also used to sing "Faithfully", "Lights", "Separate Ways" along with "I want to Know What Love Is" (Foreigner), some Skid Row, Motley Crue, Nirvana, Def Leppard, Van Hagar, Van Halen, etc, etc. and many other songs from many other bands in my bands. I sang 6 nights a week 5 hours a night in one of the highest paid bands on the bar circuit at the time. I was told on a nightly basis that I covered the songs we played live better than the most of the original artists in a lot of cases. But yeah, whatever you say, I'm tone deaf. LOL I have been singing in bands since I was 17 and I'm 47 now. I'm pretty sure that alone qualifies me to have an opinion on her singing skills. So please don't try to lecture me on my ears, or singing ability.
My question is; Where exactly did I say she didn't suck? What part of me saying, "What I expected to hear was horribly out of tune singing" and "I really wanted her to choke" didn't you understand? Yes, I heard no sour notes. At least not any that made me cringe. Do I really have to explain my comment to that extent for you to comprehend what I was saying?
Sorry your brother couldn't make the grade. Life is tough, huh? And I'm glad he "fucking OWNED it" in a karaoke bar. (seriously? LOL) Sounds like you have a bunch of sour grapes to me. Period.

*promote the 80's!

Since we're on the subject of armpit hair in general (and who the hell knows when the conversation will swing back in this direction...), I have to share a little story.

Years ago, I used to subscribe to Rolling Stone. Right after Steve Clark had died, the magazine caught up with the remaining members of Def Leppard and did an interview with them. I flipped to the article and began reading; the article starting off with a nice page-sized picture of the remaining members, minus drummer Rick Allen. I noticed it, but didn't think anything of it at that moment, so I keep reading. I turn the page, and stare at another page-sized picture, and there's Rick, shirtless. Missing his arm. With armpit hair.

You know, I knew he only had one arm, and naturally, he didn't shave. But I never put the two together until it was abruptly put in front of me like that. Man....(shakes head, dazed) It was like moss growing on the side of a tree, you know? Just kind of took me by surprise.

Anyway...

Nice.

And I'm not ashamed of a single damn one of them.

This is fun. We should do this once a week. Lindsay Beyerstein used to have a Friday Random Ten for a long time, but discontinued it over a year ago. Too bad. Let's not let it end here.

omg will u younglings ever stop with these. def leppard's 1 arm > meg white > this.

^ yeah, and maybe when he's broken enough records, he'll get bored,
and try out as Def Leppard's new drummer.

if we were playing 1 on 1, i'd feel like the handicapped one.
kid's got more drive than i've ever had.

Best live performers I recall were Alison Krauss & Union Station, Scorps Love at First Sting, Sammy Hagar, Def Leppard, Dio.

I've posted Def Leppard's "Rock of Ages." It is the source of the German sample that begina "Pretty Fly (For A White Guy".
